Letters Patent No. 99,843, dated February 15, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN WARPING-MACHINES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all'whomfit may concern:

Be it known that we, SAMUEL CAMPBELL, of Palme'r, in the county of Hampden, and State of Massachusetts, and DUNCAN MCFARLANE, of Troy, inthe county of Rensselaer, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Skein-Warping Machine; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying draw-- ing, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l represents a vertical longitudinal section of our improved skein-warping machine, the plane of section being indicated by the line x x, iig. 2.

Figure 2 is a plan or top view, partly in section, of the same.

Figure 3 is a vertical transverse section of the same, the plane of section being indicated-by the line y y, iig. 2.

Similar letters 'of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The invention relates to warping-machines, and consists in certain novel features which will be more particularly specified hereafter.

The. yarn is from thespools on the ordinary creels passed through a perforated plate, A, which is set up transversely at one end of the frame B of the warping-machine.

The frame B is of suitable material and size, and is arranged to support the entire machinery connected with this apparatus.

The yarn passes from the plate 'A overa transverse roller, C, through a drop wire box', not shown, and then through another perforated transverse plate, D, whose apertures are preferably' all in line.

. The plate A and D, and the roller C, arel arranged in one group at one end of the machine, as shown in tig. 1, and'form one end section of the same.

The middle section of the machine consists of a perforated transverse plate, E, of a set of three transverse rollers,` F, Fl, and F2, and oi'a cross-bar, G, which supports two or more pairs of vert-ical pins, a a..

The number of apertures in the plate E is considerably less than that in D, and the yarn is therefore. by the plate E, collected into eight, or more or less,

skeins. These are passed over roller F, under F1, and

over F2, and are then guided by the pins a to form but two or more collections of yarn.

The outer end section of the machinecontains the' traversing bugle H, the section beam- I, and the cylinder shaft J,

The bugle receives reciprocating motion across the machine by a chain or rope, K, as hereinafter mor/e fully described,

The bugle is a tubular or hollow conical threadguide, which receives the yarn from th'e pins a, add collects it all in one single skein, which it depos't-s, dining its reciprocating motion, upon the' se l 'onV beam in layers, commencing alternately from opposite ends.

For dyeing and other purposes, it is very convenient to have the yarn in skein form onthe section roller, as it is not so apt to become entangled when taken ofi'. However, when it is desired to apply the yarn in the ordinary manner, the buglc, the pins a, and the plate E are removed, and a plate, L, having as many apertures as the plate D, is placed across the machine close to the section beam, as indioatedin figs. l and 2.

The said pulley is, by gear-wheels d d, connected with the cylinder shaft.

0n the cylinder shaft is a pulley, c, which drives a belt, f, that runs around a pulley, f, which gears by wheels h It into a transverse shaft g. The shaft g is the driving-shaft of the gear, generally called manglenear. o A pinion, t, on the shaft g, meshes into a segmental toothed .or perforated disk, j, on a longitudinal shaft, l the said -shaft carrying a double-grooved pulley, m, to which the ends of the chain K are secured.

The chain passes over friction-rollers, n n, at opposite sides of the machine, and is then fastened to the bugle.- As the shaft l is oscillated, the chain will be let out on one side and drawn in on the other side alternately, and the bugle will thereby be traversed.

The disk j has curved arms, o o, by which the pinion t will be thrown upon opposite sides of the disk, to reverse the motion of the shaft l.

This mechanism for operating the bngle may, however, be moditied and considerably varied.

Having thus described our invention,

We claim as, new, and desire vto secure by Letters Patentl. The application toa warping-machine of a removable traversing bugle and operating mechanism, guide pins a c, and plate E, whereby it may be adapted to common or skein warping, in the manner described.

'2. The combination of a bugle which collects, guides, and lays the yarn in skeins, with the plus aa, arranged as described.
